Welcome to the latest news from the In The Field blog. A study in Finland aided by supercomputing provided by the national research and education network (NREN) CSC found that vaccinating against human papilloma virus (HPV) significantly reduces the risk of cervical cancer. In Ireland, HEAnet is working with partners to develop a method to increase electric grid resilience. Meanwhile, Nepal’s NREN and international researchers have established critical climate-based monitoring at an altitude of 5,000 meters in the Himalayas. Enjoy!

FEATURED STORIES

Technology and tenacity in the Himalayas

The Nepal Research and Education Network and researchers from the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) based in Kathmandu have built a sensor network using wireless technologies to monitor high altitude climate change.

Increasing Ireland’s electric grid resilience

According to a study involving HEAnet, the NREN of Ireland, it will be possible to monitor the utility grid without satellite-based time data to increase resilience significantly in times of geopolitical tension.

ICYMI: Citizens help monitor disease outbreaks in Kenya

Web and mobile applications in Kenya enable the public to report health symptoms, allowing NREN KENET and its partners to monitor for early warning signs of disease outbreaks.

Fighting cervical cancer with supercomputing

According to Finnish research, vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) is efficient enough to provide herd immunity and ease the need for cervical cancer screening. The team uses high-performance computing provided by CSC, the NREN of Finland.

ICYMI: Stronger disaster response for the Philippines

The Philippines' NREN, PREGINET, is part of a collaboration involving the European Union Earth Observation program, Copernicus, to enhance natural disaster mitigation plans using satellite data.

ICYMI: Supercomputer maps Roman empire trade
